[Porps_is_HOT_loz]

Cats im goin 4 coz
1: Port are ferals and i H8 them more then any other team
2: We will all have to put up with shyyyt that port supporters will talk about like OMG WE WON THE GRANDFINAL
3: Geelong deserve to win after a great run they have had this season..
Go cats

If Port wins I'll respect their efforts to the hilt, but I'll be barracking mad for the Cats.

I've been a Norwood supporter all my life, and, let's just say I am not to fond of that Alberton mob.

Incidentally, it would be an amazing result for Tom Harley who may well hold the premiership cup aloft as Cats' captain after being traded by Port Power after just 1 match with 'em.

My second favourite player after Bodey and my second favourite team after the crows.

Go cats and go Tommy.

I’m sorry but anyone who is actually supporting Port has no idea. This is a club football, not state football!!! Even those who “don’t care about the result” are insane. I don’t care how much criticism I cop, if you’re a Crows supporter you should NEVER want Port to win, not even a H&A game let alone a Grand Final.

I am sick of hearing about how we need Port to win to keep the flag away from Victoria for another year. I couldn’t give a stuff about keeping the flag out of Vic; I just want to see Port get hammered. We’ve won 2 flags and with a victory to Port on Saturday they’ll match us.

But here are Crows fans actually WANTING Port, our arch rivals, to win the PREMIERSHIP. I'm not sure how that can possibly sit well with any fans of the Adelaide Football Club. There are actually fans of the AFC who are supporting the club that Michelangelo Rucci, the tool who writes articles every day paying out the club and slandering us whenever he can, supports. If you want to see Tredrea holding the Premiership cup at 4:30 on Saturday then I’m sorry, but you have no idea.

Very well said!

Well done macca23, for actually bringing common sense to this thread.

Everyone who has watched any footy this year knows Geelong have been the best team, and Port has had a good run. But what do some of you guys suggest? Wait for Cousins and Judd to get better so we can play WC at their best, or ask the AFL to only play Carlton and Richmond once?

Its a club competition nowadays, you support your team and thats it. You must either have some inferiority issues or work with some real port w***ers (every team has them) if your barracking against us this week.

See what happens macca when you bend just a little.

You bring a Mr Rucci clone out of the cupboard.


Go Cats, go Vics, go Melbourne, go Kennett, go the lost Grand Prix & go what ever else it takes to deny the Port Power it's 2nd flag.

 

[mick_foley]

Hell no.

Go u Pussies

 

[Jars458]

Yah this is what I think also.

They played the bottom 3 teams TWICE, all wins. They played a dead West Coast team & a Geelong team missing a few stars. They somehow beat the Hawks with that ebert goal.

Thats 9 wins just there.

Finals, they play a 2nd grade West Coast team at AAMI. Prelim, they play a team who has got BELTED by Geelong and who even the Crows smashed.

Port wont make the top 4 next year, thats my red hot tip.

Rubbish

Port finished second, have won both their finals and are the last team to beat Geelong.

They are an excellent momentum team (when they get it they put score on th board) with an excellent midfield and damaging forwards. Their ruck combination is the best in the AFLand I note that the Pies only lost to Geelong because they had no ruckman.

On form it will be a very very close game and could be a classic grand final

Credit where it is due.

I am barracking for Geelong of course. Chad Cornes and Warren Tredrea lived up to their reputations on Saturday, that alone is enough for me to pray for a Geelong win.

Terrible luck for Michael Wilson though, a champion player who deserved better.

check out this I got in an email a few days ago.. pretty funny

Port Adelaide Club Song

We've got no Power at all
Our dicks are so small
Come on, Port Adelaide are w***ers
We are the Bogans from Port
We're always in court
It's true Port Adelaide tradition
We'll never stop, stop, stop
Growin our big drug crops
There's history here in the making
Port supporters are sad
No-one knows who's their dad
Paternity tests are ours for the taking

With our drug network so strong
We can't go wrong
We're the Alberton crowd
Port Adelaide proud
And the losers are those
Who've earned the right
To wear the silver - teal
And black and white
And the Port supporters
Oh so small
True Ferals
One and all

I hated port with a passion until i lived in Perth for a while, The west coast supporters have put that hatred into perspective.

Whilst i wont be supporting them or hoping the win, won't be devastated like i was in 04 if they do get up. I only go for 1 team we aren't there so Saturday to me now is just another game.

 

[Cap]

I like the SA players in the Geelong team more than the ones in the Power

go Geelong

 

[Mong]

Geelong

 

[Smoooothy]

When you get there say you changed your mind. Changing your mind isn't a crime.

 

[Crowked]

Wouldnt support Port against anyone.

Thankfully Geelong won, and I dont have to support Collingwood this week.

Go Cats!!

 

[ThePeckers]

Lets put this into perspective.

When the Crows played the Saints in '97 to bring the AFL premeirship to Adelaide (SA) for the first time, a big deal for the state. How many Port fans do you think were going for us? This was just after the whole Grand Prix thing when the Vic V SA thing was strong as it ever was.

I remember my uncle and the rest of my family were wishing us the worst of luck before we left to watch the big one.



Also not that this has anything to do with who I am supporting but in the context of the state thing. If Port win, it will be just like 2004. Crappy little parties and shit emails getting sent around (ive copped the first round already for them jsut making the GF).

Go back to 1998 (I was in Adelaide when they won that time...couldn't get tickets) when they won, where I live there was a street party. People everywhere. SO GOOD, Awesome. One massive party, I remember all the cars going past and just honking all the time. Best time of my life.

If they win this year, it will never ever be anything like that.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Go the Cats...by a point would make me happy.
I'll never barrack for the scum

 

[crowgirl]

In 2004 I was netual and thought "it's ok if port win"
but as soon as that sirron went all I could think was "DIE PORT!" lol

this year, I don't mind them as a team as much, they aren't as 'dirty' as previous years, and I hate dirty football.

I am as big as Crows supporters come, but I also want to keep the premiership out of Vicotira! it's been 6 long years for them, may as well make it 8, because crows will win next year making it 8 heh heh
plus robert walls wil have to walk rundel mall in the nude, that will be funny.

EDIT: but then I think of all the stupid "Power Premier" tshirts, bumper stickers, mugs, hats, scarfs, tv adds, and AHHHH. can i handle that?? ewww, I feel sick

Why? Because I don't buy into a 10 year old rivalry when it doesn't benefit my side at present beyond the rival side not getting bragging rights? The SA vs Vic rivalry is VERY alive, and has been around for ****loads longer than Port vs. Crows. You can see the undertones constantly in both the administration and media coverage of our sport, and it's a rivalry that's caused our side a ****LOAD more grief than Port vs. Crows. Essendon Prelim umpiring 1993 and Bryce Gibbs are the two best examples. Call me crazy, but I was a SHITLOAD angrier at both of those than when Port won the cup in '04.

Look, I'm well aware that my view isn't the popular one, and Port and Crows fans alike aren't likely to agree with me. But where have I asked anyone to? We're all going to support different teams for different reasons and I'm happy to accept that. But for people to say I'm, and others with their own reasons, are not "true" supporters for having such views is flat out pathetic and petty. I'm behind my team as fully as anyone. Hell, there's plenty of posters on this board who have seen me in Bay 114 yelling my guts up to the extent that I can barely even talk by half time. How does me not recognising a rivalry in the same way you do negate that in any way? If we were to play Port on Saturday, I'd love us to smash the absolute shit out of them - perhaps even moreso than any other team. We're not. Port are playing Geelong, Adelaide's season is over, and I'm going for Port. I'm not labelling anyone a traitor to the state for going for Geelong, yet I have to put up with you, and several other posters, claiming I have "no idea". What a joke.

 

[Dandy_GO]

and nine posts before that u posted:



ie i am special look at me etc

How about next you read the title of the thread. I was on topic, and addressing points already made here. You're a horrible poster.

 

[Drummond]

Yeh and the SANFL has also been around a heck of a lot longer than Port v Crows. I guess that doesn't interest you though. But being a Norwood supporter and member my hatred of Port goes back a long way.

You wanting Port to win is pathetic, no amount of reasoning will change that. I was in Melbourne for the Adelaide/Hawthorn game, I was abused after the game and told to go back to SA, I read the papers and saw all the garbage about how the Victorian teams are rising, but I couldn’t give a stuff about SA v Vic this weekend. Next year when the SOO returns there’s the time for state loyalties. As for this, it’s Port v Geelong, our enemies playing off in a Grand Final and yet you want them to win. Sorry but that’s not right, it’s just not.

Since when does the rivalry stop just because our season is over? Not to mention I find it unbelievable that you don't mind if Port draw level with us in terms of AFL premierships.

No passion here.

Of course it does, but for you to say SANFL is relevant, but then discount SA vs Vic as being only relevant on the SoO stage is hypocritical.

Uh huh
When did I say it stopped? If Port were playing Brisbane/West Coast (although a strong rivalry is developing here too)/Sydney/Fremantle I'd love to see them get SMASHED - just like I did in '04. They're not. I'm just not so afraid of all the Port ********* bragging that I'm desperate for them to lose.

 

[ICanDressMyself]

Uh huh

Well if the rivarly is still well and truly rolling why is it that you want our arch rivals to win the premiership? All you've given me is the rubbish about not wanting Victoria to have team that takes out the flag. Are you saying you think SA v VIC rivalry is bigger than Crows v Port? As Drummond said, SOO is next year, but for now Port are our arch rivals, not 10 victorian teams.

I'm just not so afraid of all the Port ********* bragging that I'm desperate for them to lose.

And that fact that it'll be 2-2 in terms of AFL premierships doesn't faze you?

 

[crowgirl]

Why do you have to be an arch rival with port to be a 'true' crows supporter?

the slandering that is going on in the thread is stupid. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and just because you don't agree with it, doesn't make it any less valid.
Crows supporters should be supporting each other. This banter is a waste of time and effort.

 

[Dandy_GO]

but for now Port are our arch rivals, not 10 victorian teams.

And why's that?

And that fact that it'll be 2-2 in terms of AFL premierships doesn't faze you?

Of course it does - it would give me the shits. But it's not the determining factor over whom I support.


I'd also like to ask why people would be so upset as to bag other people and question their support of their team over the issue.
